The Birthplaces of Things.

The records of former or present emf
nence of manufactures are scattered broad
cast over the speech of every day. Damask
cloth and damask sword blades recall the
fame of the skilled workmen of Damascus;
gauze, that of the weayers of GAIA in
Palestine; and muslin proclaims the indus
try of Mosul, on the Tigris. Calicut in
India, and Nankeen in China, have given
names TO cotton fabrics. Fustian, from
Fustat, speaks of Egyptian industry,
though our learned pundits are still doubt
ful whether carpet is contraction of
"Cairo tippet" or tapestry, Morocco,
China, Japan, Cashmere, are the common
names of their respective manufactures of
leather, porcelain, lacquered work and fine
CLOTH Holland as a name of linen, Hol-
lands name for gin, tell their tale about

Delft, in Holland, nor is all duffel spun at
the place of that name near Antwerp, nor
all shalloop at Qhalons, in France. Sedan
is as familiar for its cloth used to cover the
chairs of that name as for the great capitu-
lation of the Franco -Prussian war. Milli-
ners and mantua-makers have their head
quarters in the Italian towns of Milan and
Mantua; Irish frieze rivals the original
stuff from Frieslaad, while coaches now
derive nothing but their name from the
Hungarian village of Kotsi Pistols have
taken the place of the daggers that were
once manufactured at Pistola, now Pistoja,
in Italy; bilboes and Hudibras' "Toledo
trusty" still reminds us in our literature of
the Spanish sword manufactures of Bilbao
and Toledo; and we cannot call cordwainer
without remembering the repute of the
leather of Cordova. Gingham and lock-
ram have spread widely the names of thei1
birthplaces, Guincamp, and Lockrenau, in
Brittany. The latter place named aftel

speechless surprise, which was increased by
his strange manner
Instead of his usual hearty greeting he
took no notice of me at all, but walked di-
rectly to the table and sat down. Placing
his hand upon the key he began calling 90"
which was the signal for Elm Grove, the
first station, six miles west of Linwood.
II. l. c" came the response. "Put out
signal for special passenger west and copy"
"Ro," "Ro," "Ds," rang out the sounder
with Charles nimble fingers upon the key.
"Ro" was the call for Rosedale, the second
station from Linwood, eight miles west of
Elm Grove II, 1, Ro," came back the
answer.
Then, as sat by the window as one
paralyzed, the awful truth flashed across
my mind l had overlooked the stock
train, laundering eastward twenty miles an
hour, and made no provision for its meet
ing the excursion train. My blood seemed
turned to ice as heard the reply:
"They are at the switch. Ro.@
Another minute and it would have been
too late. Still apparently oblivious of my
presence, Charlie reached for the order
book with his left hand, while his right
continued to manipulate the key, and
heard the sounder click out the order that
held the train. Quick as a fash came
back the response from each station and in
less time than it takes me to write it the
order had been repeated and signed by the
conductor and engineer of each train, while
Charlie copied it into the order book and
returned his 30. K" Then, as realized
that | was saved and great disaster avert
ed, the revulsion of feeling was too much
for my overstrained nerves and lost con-
sciousness.
An hour after | was awakened by ia
miliar voice, and looked up to find Frark
Dwyer, one of our conductors who had
to watch that night with
Charlie, standing over me. awake up, old
man" said he, II have bad news for you.

table There on the order book was the
order, just as l had heard it clicked out by
the sounder, and "Ro" was calling me to
report the two trains safely by. Had /
been dreaming and sent the order in my
sleep, or had my friend redeemed his
promise? The writing in the order book
was in his hand, and I have never been
able to account for it.

uated, has grand avenue of giants frs.
For sixty miles one may ride in the shade
of these branching trees. From Yo-
kohama south to Kioto, the old capital, 400
miles, the road is one continuously shaded
avenue, winding along the ocean shore,
around narrow bays and inlets and over
high hills and mountain sides.
Unlike their neighbors, the Chinese, the
japanese take time from their toll to enjoy
all this. Their government may have been
despotic and arbitrary, but it never over
worked its laboring population. 1t gave
them more holidays than any people under
the sun ever enjoyed. They had what
were known as the "Ichi roku' days, that
is, all the days in the lunar months that
were designated by one or six. Thus the
1st, 9th, 11th, 10th, 21st and 26th days
of each month were legal holidays. In
addition to these, the birthdays of the ru-
ling Emperor and Empress, and also of
several of the greatest of their predecessors
of the ruling dynasty, which reaches back
through 1900 years are holidays. Every
village has festivals in honor of its patron
saint and the saints of the famous temples
and shrines for thanksgiving and to ad-
mire the beauties of earth and sky. Whole
neighborhoods turn out their population
leaving only enough people at home to care
for the households, and 60 sometimes hun
dreds of miles, on what may appropriately
be called these religious picnics. They
walk along the shaded avenues, talking,
laughing and singing. They rest when
weary from walking in the shade of the
great trees by some clear stream, or some
bubbling spring. All these great highways
are lined with tea booths, where, tea, rice,
eggs or cakes can be had for an incompar-
ably low price.
The spring and summer bring the flower
festivals, when city aRd village streets for
miles are filed with the most beautiful flo-
raj exhibitions, and crowds of admiring
people There is no more beautiful sight
than one of the long wide streets lighted
at night and filed with flowers. The love
of the beautiful has led the japanese to
Rorego the grosser pleasure of eating the
fruit of the cherry tree in order that they
may enjoy the beauty and fragrance of the
cherry blossoms. There are large groves
of the double lowered cherry trees in al
parts of the country, which grow to enor-
nous size. The faweris as large as 9. roSs

The Japanese Islands.

From San Francisco Chronicle,
The distinction which Japan enjoys is,
that while other countries have lovely spots
she is everywhere enchanting. The whole
length of the island chain, 1900 miles in
extent, hardly presents spot that would
not be subject for landscape painter
The great central mountain range, with the
overtowering cone-shaped Fujiama, rises
almost out of the ocean below to be lost in
view in the clouds above, Long transverse
spurs of hills run out into the sea. Deep,
warm, rich valleys have been everywhere
cut through the mountains and hills, and
bordering the ocean fertile plains have been
formed from the weatherings and washings
of the great mountain masses. Covering
these plains, valleys, hillsides and noun
tains is verdure that riots in luxuriance.
Clear streams, from their elevated sources,
dash through narrow gorges, pour In gleam-
ing cataracts down precipitous mountain
sides and whirl in crystal eddies at the feet
of over branching forest trees. 1t is
climatic zone where the fora of the cold
north and that of the heated south meet
and intermingle. The pine and palm, the
maple and magnolia, the beech and bamboo,
and the oak and the orange interlace their
branches in the same grove, Around all
the land are waters of the great ocean, from
which soft winds temper the heat of an
almost tropic sun.
Living in such scenes of enchantment
these people are as light of heart and sunny
in disposition as children, and SO polite and
pleasure loving as to excite the admiration
of even their French and italian visitors.
There is no dwelling SO humble but it has
a spot for trees and flowers. The rich have
gardens in which are faithful reproduc-
tions in miniature of their varied landscapes
hidden in trees and Towering shrubbery
Every farmers plot Of land is beautiful and
adorned. The gold of the Fipeped rice and
wheat Is eontrasted against back ground
of green foliage. Whatever name may be
given to the religion of that people, and
whatever creeds and doctrines may have
been engrafted upon their beliefs, the main
feature of their worship is an intense love,
amounting almost to an alteration, of ma
ture. This appears in their whole life.
They haye built their temples on the side
Of the great mountains, emhowered them
in oyeF-hangilg groves, and surrounded
them with everything of towering shrub.
The sites of these command beautiful views
Of the surrounding country, and usually are
near fountains and waterfalls. The village
shrines are located in the most charming
spots of the neighborhood, and no labor is
spared to adorn and beautify them. The
highways are bordered by rows Of trees
planted centuries ago, whose branches form
an evergreen arch over the head of the
traveller. The road to Nikko, where the
temples and tombs of the Tyeoons are sit

forts Of this kind have strong tendency
to cling to the place of their nativity, as is
evidenced by Schiedam, the name of Dutch
spirits; Cognac, that of French brandy;
port, the wine from Oporto in Portugal;
sherry, that from Xerxes de la Fronteua,
in Spain; hook, from Hockeim, in Ger
many; Tokay, from that vineyard in Hun
gary, and so on, The Canary Islands are
not more famous for their wines than for
the birds that originally came from them.
Damascus, already noticed, comes again to
the front in roses and damascene or damson
plums; cherries and chestnuts carry US
back to the ancient towns of Cerasus and
Castana, in Pontus; ounces have distin-
guished their derivation from Cydonia, a
town in ancient Crete; and peaches, the
original form of their name as the fruit of
"the Persian tree" Guelder roses are
from Guelderland in Holland, and berga-
mot pears from Bergamo in Italy. Gallo
way and Shetland are in every ones mouth
for their ponies; Bantam in Java cele-
hrates its breed of diminutive poultry.
Guinea, Turkey and India are in high
vogue in common speech, though their
fame is partly won on false issues. Guinea
has rightly given name to the now anti
quated coin, because much gold was brought
to our mint from the Gold Coast, and to
guinea fowls, which are indigenous to
Africa; but guinea pigs is misnomer
Their name should be guiana pigs, for they
were first brought from South America.
Turkeys are wrongly referred by us to the
country Of that name, as they are by the
French and Germans to India, for they
are really indigenous to America So all
the aboriginal tribes of America were call
ed by the early naygiators Indians from
an imagined connection between America
and India. Spa in Belgium claims the
rights of paternity over all mineral wells.
OTeries are so called from the first one

fourth Earl of Sandwich at the gaming

It is eaay to ask conundrum, but it is
not always so easy to give the exact answer
when your hearers "give it up" Some
years since, at a dinner party in Maine,
Judge Shepley asked "Why is woman
like the ivy2" Into everybody's mind
came Irving's beautiful comparison, but no
one seemed able to put it into words. The
answer, aThe greater the ruin the closer
she clings,' is certainly creditable senti-
ment, but the Judge unfortunately got
things mixed, and in his confusion said
"The closer she clingsth greater the ruin, "
which set the table in a roar.
